Chapter 74 - I FINALLY FIND YOU (2) (2/2)
”I want to ask you this,” she said carefully. ”Will you keep the baby?”
She knew it was a bold question, but upon seeing their expressions, she didn't think she had stepped out of line when she queried them of this. To make sure that she was on the right track to discuss this.
”The baby is very healthy,” she started. ”If both of you think this is too fast…”
”I want to abort it,” Lise cut her off immediately when she knew what this doctor was going to say. It was about her keeping the baby, while she had no idea what she had gone through.
Beside her, Sol grabbed her hand in warning.
”Think about this again,” the doctor was in a difficult position.
”No, I want to abort it,” Lise said firmly.
”We will talk about this,” Sol finally spoke, as he stood up. ”Thank you for your concern.”
====================
It had been seven days and Knox didn't show any significant improvement, if one could say, his condition was only getting worse now.
Meanwhile, Gael had regained his consciousness two days ago and his health had improved, though he was still in pain and couldn't use his power, but he was awake and could move as he pleased, unlike Knox, who had been in a vegetative state since he brought Gael to this manor during the disaster.
”Still no news from Chaos?” Anne asked when Gael entered Knox's room. His face was pale and his lips were chapped, but he looked better than yesterday.
”No.” Gael took a chair and sat down beside Anne, who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
”What will you do about the company?” Anne changed the topic, because if Gael couldn't find any news about Chaos, then there was nothing she could ask anymore.
”I will say that I survived the earthquake.” The news about him still being missing was still a hot topic in the media. Most people said that he was dead, since it had been seven days and he was still missing. What hope would one have in that kind of situation?
”You have been missing for seven days, what excuse will you use?” Anne raised her brows.
”I will think about that later.”
”What about your wife?”
The word 'wife' was like a slap on Gael's face. ”She is dead,” he replied coldly.
There was silence that stretched between them, as they didn't know what safe step they should take, but a knock on the door pulled them back from their reverie.
”Someone asked to meet Mr. McKeltar,” the maid said timidly from outside the door.
”Me?” Gael frowned.
”No, Mr. Knox.”
